We support young assistants and young nephrologists through the annual award of a grant for the European ERA-EDTA congress.
In return, the participant undertakes to deliver a 15-minute presentation at the post-ERA evening held at the end of June.
This grant is open to GNFB members wishing to attend the European Renal Association (ERA-EDTA) congress.
It aims to support young assistants and future nephrologists in their professional development by offering financial assistance to cover congress participation costs.
Reimbursement of congress-related expenses will be made retrospectively based on the receipts submitted to the GNFB treasurer using the contact form.
Application deadline: 1 May 2026. Acceptance notifications: 15 May 2026.
A budget of €3,500 is allocated to all grant-winning GNFB member applicants.

Clause Anne-LorraineI was supported by the GNFB for the ERA-EDTA congress in 2017. After the congress, I delivered a presentation on vascular access in dialysis. It literally forced me to revisit the literature on the subject and confront it with the latest ERA-EDTA presentations. A great challenge, but one that serves me daily in monitoring my dialysis patients.
